Ardath is a top tier healer and a complete gem of a person. When I came to her, I had spent…read morethousands of dollars on physical therapy and my condition only got worse. I had nerve pain and burning down my whole leg, hips that have long been out of alignment, and had never gotten the postpartum support I needed to fully heal after labor. It took commitment to her slower, deeper methodologies of bodywork and healing, but after only a few months literally EVERYTHING felt better. The nerve pain has COMPLETELY gone away at a point when I was loosing all hope. I have started exercising again and I feel like I have my life back! I have recommended her to anyone who will listen. She will change your life. There are really not many out there who are true healers. Do yourself a favor and invest in her services now, before you spend your money on medical services that provide support directed at symptoms rather than treating the root cause.

I consulted Amara in 2013 and my session reassured me that the guy I was dating at the time was…read moresomeone special. He was so special that we have been married for almost 10 years. 2023 has been very challenging professionally and I had the urged to seek Amara's tarot reading. I forgot her name (which changed and she looks beautiful and happy) but I remembered I'm she was in wicker park. I found her back :-) Today s session was incredible. She guided me and red things that nobody could know and helped me to clarify and my gut feelings about my next professional move. She feels the people from our past and knows things that only real medium can know. She is kind, honest and such a gifted human. Highly recommend her. If you seek a medium advice, you need to have an open mind, soul and heart. :-)

Then got back on the call and received pretty much nothing of substance. It felt like something that would be said to anyone. My friend recommended me going. Waste of $$$.

I love her spirit! I had previously passed by her business intrigued for a few years but never saw…read moreanyone going in or out so just kept moving along. Eventually, I checked out her site and reached out to her via email. Although some of my issue was not in her realm of expertise she was willing to try to help. At the time, I had no idea about her accident or that she was responding from a hospital bed?!?! I felt awful bothering her with my nonsense so I waited until I received an email update about an event. I decided to attend one of her "soundbaths." I had no idea what that entailed, but she mentioned "to remove the caca," so I was completely SOLD!!! Whether I was clearing my own old, repressed negativity or cleansing fear, anxiety and trauma projected from others, I was excited to remove it all and start fresh. Incredibly welcoming, deep soulful embrace not some superficial hug. Everyone in attendance was respectful, and ready to do the work in order to reap the benefits. The gentleman that assisted was doing reiki on us was incredibly gifted as well!!! While Dr. Marina guided us through our meditative journey, he went to each and every person. I have no idea how other people responded, I was shocked at how HOT his hands were!!! Seriously, I have had a hot stone massage and because my eyes were closed thought for a moment that was what it was, it was his HANDS!!! I have since gone to see Dr. Marina for hypnosis and a BIG TIME reiki cleansing. She felt something around my heart and around my neck which I was aware of but was happy someone else saw and felt. My chakras were stagnate, my heart chakra was so still one would think I was dead-lol!!! We cleared and cleansed everything and by the time I left all my Chakras were spinning wildly!!! Dr. Marina is beautiful inside and out, very kind and compassionate. Even if you think its outside of her expertise simply ask! This is exactly what I did via email because was not sure what I needed. She will be the first to tell you if she can help with your specific needs. I found Dr. Marina to be warm, extremely candid and FUNNY! Definitely not driven by ego or motivated by the almighty $$$. She is highly educated has a wealth of professional mentors and colleagues so she can help without a doubt. I will be returning for my aura photography, and super excited!!! Hopefully, thanks to my chakra recharge, it won't be pitch black LOL!!!

I really value the way she is able to think about a problem from many different angles and provide tangible advice as well as new ways to reframe how to think about a particular challenge. I have felt that as she got to know me better, she became even more of a valued voice, and her advice really honed in on core areas of my life and thought-process that I need to improve. She is a great listener and really hears and understands before providing any feedback.

I feel blessed to have met Mari based on a random Google search. Working through an incredibly…read morechallenging ex relationship, Mari has provided me with a calm in my storm. She is kind, genuine, empathetic and sincere. What I enjoy about our time together is that she shares stories to provide examples to prove points so it feels more like an uplifting conversation than an appointment with a therapist. I always leave with a takeaway or two that carries me through the week. I feel like I've known her for longer than a few months and she is flexible with my changing schedule. Thank you, Mari, for being you.

I asked for an aura photo session for my birthday from my husband who has no experience in this…read morerealm, meanwhile, I follow a ton of places that offer this service and the photos look like works of art and the entire experience appears like a peaceful sanctuary where you can learn about how your aura and energy and build a growth mindset from there. My experience was nothing like this at all. My photo was done with a laptop on a couch while a woman was changing her clothes in the same space, chatting with the Dr. while she tried to get her software to work. My photo looked like a mugshot. Not clear and not even printed, it emailed me some autogenerated report based on the color and that was interesting, but super generic. She rushed me in and out because she was able to squeeze me in between appointments, but I would have rather waited and had a valuable experience. My husband was with me and couldn't believe this is what I wanted for my present. We both laughed. It was almost comical how bad it was and I guess it was $50 and maybe the nicer looking ones are more expensive but you get an actual commemorative photo. My poor husband was like she has great reviews and her front door says award winning...I guess that doesn't always translate to every area of her business and I'm guessing the aura photos is not a big component since it all felt like an afterthought. It was a super disappointing experience.

They explain movements clearly, offer helpful modifications, and create an environment where everyone feels welcome. The studio is always clean and well-organized, and they go above and beyond by providing and setting up mats and props, which makes every class feel easy and stress-free. The overall vibe here is just unmatched. The yoga recovery candlelight classes, in particular, feel like a true reset. I leave those sessions feeling calm, centered, and relaxed for the rest of the evening. Astute offers something genuinely special, and I would confidently recommend it 5 out of 5. You can generally park right out front with city parking. So you never have to worry about circling the block and worrying about being late.

Update: After speaking with Rebecca regarding my experience with Amanda, it is very clear to me…read morethat she cares more about the reputation of her business over the treatment and care of her patients. My experience working with Amanda Ferrari was overwhelmingly negative. After several months of therapy, I left feeling significantly worse than when I started. The experience had such a profound negative impact on my mental health, that after ending therapy with Amanda, I sought care from another therapist to help me process and recover from what I experienced during "treatment". I try to exercise care when writing reviews such as this one, but this is the type of therapist that you should avoid at all cost. She has, what I believe to be, a deeply rooted bias against men.

I worked with Jana for two years during my time in Chicago. She was such a source of light,…read morestrength, and stability during an otherwise challenging time in my life (and many others). I began working with her on the heels of a difficult break up, and she patiently helped me to find a path forward and regain my power. Within a couple months of our first session, the global pandemic hit and we moved from in person to video therapy -- the transition was seamless. I was single and living alone during that time, and Jana's empathy and support were a life line for me. She is kind, compassionate, and really takes the time to see and understand the full person. I still refer back to conversations we had and resources she gave me to navigate new challenges that I encounter in life. I am healthier today because of my time with Jana. When I started to consider a move away from the Chicago area, a major con on my list was that I could no longer work with Jana. I will be forever grateful to her for her time and heart. If you have the chance to work with her, cherish every moment. She's one of the best out there!

I stayed on with her when she graduated and was a hired as a clinician and saw her continuously until I moved out of the Chicagoland are. I wish I was still in Chicago because I would likely be seeing her to this day. She is kind, compassionate, understanding. She is a skilled therapist and I'm sure a great mentor to her colleagues. I am of a minority background of both race and religion and a lot of my struggles with anxiety were rooted in this. She really took her time to understand the nuances of my experiences, their social impact, and their impact on mental health. I have worked with about 10 therapists in my adult life and Jana is easily in the top 3 of my favorite and most skilled therapists to work with. If you are working with her--cherish your time together! If you are thinking of working with her--please take my recommendation in doing so. I have nothing but love and respect for Jana!
